Nah Thanos was a cool villian. Musk is Syndrome.
He wanted to be a cool superhero, but he sucks at it so he’s angry and became a villian.
Syndrome was at least somewhat sympathetic, you can see how he got to where he was. Musk is more like
, a loser who lucked into his “power” and abuses it thinking he’s owed and still thinks he’s a heroyep this is the most accurate, Titan is stupid arrogant and his power was completely by fluke. Sums up Musk precisely. good job.
I literally can’t think of a character who I loathed as much as this one, and Jonah Hill turning out to be a massive, insecure asshole didn’t help a bit.
You’re absolutely spot on with Tighten!
Your image link is broken though, fyiFixed, had the syntax for the markup backwards
More like a want to be Syndrome
There was a group people who saw through his bullshit back then. I deeply regret dismissing them.
I remember him being portrayed as this genius who had a good grasp of every technical subject he was interested in by reading books 24/7. I am gonna admit, I did kind of find it plausible at the time.
It is funny how ridiculous that now sounds after seeing his interviews, social media messages, leaked internal emails and such.
Thanos was way more relatable than Elon though.

Well I’d like to thank you. I’ve been considering watching that movie because my friend wouldn’t shut up about it. Now that I know Ed Norton is in it I can say fuck that and avoid it at all possible costs.
Not to spoil it, but edward norton does a good job of playing an unlikeable main character. It was silly but fun and worth the watch i think.
Yeah well he also does a great job at being an unlikeable human too. I’ll pass.
Are we hating Edward Norton now? What did he do?
He was basically blacklisted from a huge section of Hollywood for pulling what I’d refer to as a Chevy Chase. Only difference is that Ed retained his talent. No shortage of reporting on it either. It’s why he ran off to the tech world for a hot second. People just don’t want to work with him. Personally I’ve had a run in with him too, or been in the same area anyway. He was getting angry with some barrista that they didn’t recognize him and give him the drink for free. Was at that point I decided to purposefully never give him any attention because the motherfucker clearly has too much if that went that far to his head.
Honestly, getting blacklisted by Hollywood should be a commendable accomplishment today. We’ve long since figured out that “difficult to work with” is often code for “wouldn’t suck my cock”, both literally and figuratively.
Lmao why? It wasn’t as good as the first but still reasonably good.
Haven’t seen the first one either. I’m not big on movies for some reason. Can watch a season of a show in a day or two but can’t watch a movie
If you like funky murder mysteries, you’ll like the first one.
It’s pretty damn good, and a bit shocking to see Daniel Craig put on a good take on a southern accent.
Nah he’s Justin Hammer: a failure of a CEO trying to be Tony Stark.
Justin Hammer had charisma.
Both of you are referring to the MCU Hammer. He’s usually pretty competent in the comics
Musk wishes he was as cool and relatable as Thanos. Naw, dawg, I see Muskrat as a spoiled brat who always gets his way or takes his ball and goes home.
Thanos has a level of composure, forethought, and planning that I don’t associate with Musk. I’d say he’s more like Loki in the first Avengers movie: emotional, destructive, and in way over his head.
Nah, Loki at least has a plan. He’s more like Pierce Hawthorne from Community. A guy who can’t seem to get along with anybody, who desperately wants to be cool, failing constantly, but who uses his money to make up for that.
he lost the plot after getting dumped by Grimes
This should be a lesson on how culture and media shape how you feel about people.
This is true of all rich folk. A good PR team can invert reality and turn even the most brutal nazi into an outright celebrity.
Fuck off. Thanos was a decent person who had a good idea.
Musk is a piece of shit.
Thanos was a decent person who had a good idea.
Yeah, no. He was not decent and his idea of halving “all life in the universe” to save resources was proof that he lacked a second neuron to realize that, at best, that would just postpone the problem
Thanos was Hollywood’s continued slander of Environmentalists via straw-men. They can not and will not portray any treat to the status quo as good because to succeed in Hollywood, you need to learn to navigate said status quo.
Musk isn’t far from Stark as Stark could have scaled up his Arc Reactor and made dirty energy obsolete, but didn’t the same way that Musk could run his businesses and treat his employees fairly, but chooses not to out of pure ego.
Just do it again from time to time.
Can set a reminder for every 10 years. You don’t have to be a genius for that.
Honestly people don’t think at all do they?
He destroyed the stones though.
Just remake them every 10 years. Can’t be that hard.
No he wasn’t, his idea was shit.
Halving something means that, at 7% growth per year, you’re right back where you were in 10 years. Traumatic events usually make people multiply like bunnies for a while so yeah… Even in the best case scenario, he’d murder trillions of people, traumatize the rest, and all that to buy “the universe” what, 10, 20, maybe 30 years.
Instead he could go out and teach everyone how to become responsible. Slowly have less babies until, you know, the world evens out in a good number. Earth can be quite nice and stable with, say, 5 billion people, and then you make sure that in average, just as many people are born as they die. Use taxes and other things to control that. Nobody needs to suffer or be bloody murdered or winked out of existence, no dictatorship necessary, just nice teaching.
Or he could’ve just doubled all the resources in the universe.
If you can kill half the universe you could create an infinite resource glitch.
Doubling or halving anything would not solve the problem if growth is the problem.
I mean he has a glove that can rewrite the fundamental nature of the universe. He could’ve figured it out.
The funniest part though is that in the comics he only wanted to wipe out half of all life to impress lady death who Thanos was in love with. But apparently a dude wiping half the universe to try to stop getting cucked by Deadpool doesn’t make a great story for a movie.
Lol. Some people get way too involved in some mythical lore.
It’s all irrelevant with the time travel bullshit anyway in Marvel universe. Nothing bad can happen because you can just reverse it all.
Eh, it’s not that I’m involved in it, I saw the movies, that’s about it. It just struck me as a seriously dumb idea. This enormously powerful guy who wants to make the universe better by killing half of the people. it was just dumb.
Thanos literally had the power to will any resource and reality into existence and he chose to destroy. Let’s call it good intention, but idiotic and psychotic solution.
But that’s what made him a good villan.
Oh hi Malthus
I now see Elon as Justin Hammer.
He damaged his personal image, started working with terrorists, and began trying to replicate other people’s technology.
Who had good ideas
… like… eugenics…?
Yep…that’s me. Le sad.
The fuck does this even mean
